The Ankokuden temple at Zōjō-ji. In this building the black image of Amida Buddha is kept - though it is shown to the public just three times a year (this is also the place where you can buy amulets and other trinkets from the monks).
Zōjō-ji was founded by Yūyo Shōsō in the 14th century - at another place but it was moved here in 1590 and during the Edo period it was one of the two family temples of the Tokugawa family (the other being Kan'ei-ji). The area was badly damaged in the second world war and the present hall was built in 1974 featuring both classical architecture and more modern elements. The temple is the main temple of the Chinzei branch of Jōdo-shū Buddhism.

Nishi Honganji Temple (Kyoto City).
I was caught in a snowstorm while sightseeing in Arashiyama District. On the following morning, I found it was still snowing in the center of Kyoto City. The falling snow melted as soon as it fell on the ground, whereas hedges and tiled roofs were lightly covered in snow. It would melt in a short time. I hit on the idea that snow would stay longer in higher elevation. I changed my itinerary and headed to a certain temple.

The Temple Island in Henley-On-Thames is a beautiful little spot tucked away amongst the more exalted bustle of the Henley Regatta. I first caught wind of this place a few years ago when I had been a spectator at the Henley Regatta. Although I wanted to take some shots, there were not a lot of cloud cover to make it worth my while.
As a landscape photographer, everyone would nod their heads in unison that whilst sunny weather is preferred, all sun with little clouds does not really make for some compelling viewing especially at dusk.
So I went back thinking I should be here on other day when the clouds would play ball. Thing is you do not need too much of wind either or your reflection would be shot. So in all, there are a lot of factors that need to come together to get a good photograph of a place. There wasn't much of a wind blowing although there were a lot of boats going backwards and forwards which leaves a big wake every now and then. So you have to time the shot in between such instances.
In all, it was a decent evening's work at the temple island. Midsummer is a good time to be here with the sun setting adjacent to this location.

The name of the place (Yushima Seidō - 湯島聖堂 with Japanese kanji) actually just means 'the sacred hall in Yushima'. It was built in this spot in 1690 (there was an earlier temple, founded in 1639, built in what is now Ueno Park, but the shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi moved it here). The temple was closely associated with the Shōhei-zaka Gakumonjo school of Neo-Confucianism, state-run from 1797 to the Meiji restoration of 1871. After 1871 the temple has shared its grounds with several educational institutions (and the Ministry of Education, and the Tokyo National Museum) - currently you can find parts of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in the vicinity, and the school's emblem of a plum blossom is said to derive from the temple. Students praying for success in their exams come to visit here.
The temple itself is now made of concrete - the original was built in wood, but destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 (just a year after the temple had been designated a national historical site). The current building dates to 1935, and was designed by Itō Chūta (伊東忠太, 1867-1954, architect and architectural historian and theorist).

The site, which dates back to the 1500's, consists of a series of Hindu temples built into a narrow crevice in the hills that surround Jaipur. Water from a natural spring flows into a series of sacred pools (kunds) in which pilgrims bathe and youths play. The site is also famous for the numerous monkeys (rhesus macaques and langur monkeys) that live there and entertain the visitors.
